Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have no passport. I've never been outside of the US.
Everyone I know thinks that's weird.
I'd really love to see Paris someday, though.
I've only been in Mexico (barely) and Canada, so no passport either. So I don't think it's weird. Paris would be cool to see and I even know someone who lives there. Not going to happen anytime soon, if ever.
When I did travel a lot, I was bummed that most custom agents didn't bother to stamp my book. Several times I had to ask.
This was problematic when my dirtbag boss did not believe that I'd gone to Scotland to deal with my friend's death. t /unresolved resentment. Ought to take care of that, I suppose.
Timelies all!
Renewed my passport earlier this year, since I had a trip to Toronto coming up. (I had misremembered when the passport expired, but had the new one by the trip)
It boggles me that I need a passport for Canada. It just seems . . . wrong. But I need a new refrigerator before I get a passport.
I haven't been outside the US since 2002. I used to go nearly every year, and I've spent 2 years plus one semester living in Europe.
Stinkin' kids.
I got a passport for a work trip several years ago. I promptly lost it a month after getting home, so I had to order a new one. It was an expensive piece of carelessness, but at least my current one's good through 2014.
Another one who's never had a passport here. I have been to Nova Scotia once, and also had family vacations when we went over the border for lunch and then the time we went to Niagara Falls and spent the late afternoon and evening on the Canada side. But that's it for foreign visits.
My first trip out of the country was a quaker work project trip. Next was college abroad. SInce then, it's been with family.
What's utterly bizarre is I still have not been to Mexico, despite spending the first 18 years of my life able to see it from the high parts of the city, and having regularly been within a mile of it. And then the first time I go abroad, the country starts dissolving within 2 weeks of my return to the States.
Still pissed the USSR wasn't doing entrance/exit stamps that summer.
Hmmm... I've been thinking it'd be fun to go to Cuba before it gets all Capitalismized. (A friend went a few years ago.)
I'd really love to see Paris someday, though.
Paris is overrated.

I got several mosquito bites during the fireworks display and I am DYING of the itch.
